Two parter. Conan, Ran, and Mouri are heading up to a lodge for the weekend. There they meet TV star Sunaoka and the crew for the show. Drinking together that night, Sunaoka drinks too much and is escorted to his room by the producer. A short while later the writer gets an idea and the producer gets a phone call. Sunaoka calls Mouri's cell phone then, but is cut off by a gunshot is heard from across the valley. Everyone peers across the river, but can see no one. Shortly after the shot, the producer appears on her balcony, fresh from the shower, and notices a hole in the balcony door of Sunaoka's room. Everyone rushes upstairs, only to findSunaoka dead. When the police investigate the probably origin of the gunshot, they find a rifle, but no footprints. Since it rained earlier that day, the police decide the nearby rope was how the murderer made his getaway, but since the rope is wet and the gun isn't, Conan has his own doubts.
